Lovely, quiet resort. Room was well kept and decorated, we upgraded to a 1-bedroom. Room was spacious, kitchen well equipped, convenience of having a laundry was perfect. Walls and floors are thick, we never heard a peep from our neighbors. Pool was clean and inviting, and the Holoholo grill by the bottom is fun - they have live music most nights, so hanging out in the lowest hot tub is a great place to relax and listen.
I knew this was not beachfront, but the “quick path” is deceiving. Walking options to the beach are either by walking the shoulder of Hoonai rd, or along Poipu rd. It’s not really a “path” and it’s not really quick. We don’t spend a ton of time on the beach, but if you’re a frequent beach goer, this may be a deal breaker if you don’t like lugging your kids/stuff, and then having to go back and forth.
If you’re staying in building 11 or 10, parking areas are often filled with people coming to eat at the Holoholo, and it’s kind of inconvenient to find somewhere to park depending on what time you return. Also in building 10, our view was of the parking lot, which could have been a lot nicer.
The biggest deal breaker at Koloa Landing, is that they had no hospitality or “courtesy” room that they have at other nearby resorts. This is a necessity for any travelers who check out in the am, but don’t have a flight until later at night. It’s nice to have a place to change and shower before departure. At Koloa all I was offered was an expensive “late check out”.
